THE RULING SENTIMENT.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-The Post will
print tomorrow nearly 100 interviews
with members and senators mainly on
the tariff. The general state Of opinion
is that a compromise measure will be
passed by the Democrats, which will be
such fair minded bill as to place the
Senate in very bad position should it
fail to make it law. Some Republicans
90 SO far as to say that this can be done
without the aid Of the Randall following.
In fact the interviews show that quite q
number Of those who have heretofore
obeyed the Randall whip, have become
FESTIVE and show decided intention to
kick over the traces. The free trade feel
ing in the west and northwest is shown
to be decidedly on the increase. Many
of the Minnesota men show strong
leaning towards big reduction in the
tariff.
WHAT MR. CARLISLE SAYS.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 30-Spesker Car

Press correspondent and spoke freely on
general topics. With regard to perfs citing
legislation on the tariff he sSid: 81 have
every reason to believe that an equitable
reduction on imports will be effected
during the coming session. expect

edly be found in the position which they
have always held as protectionists and
will wage as bitter warfare as ever, but

been done to formulate measure.n

TO your intentions toward Mr.. Randall"
"Yes, have seen them. l can say

have a1ready indicated. l am not Speaker
of the next House as yet. When | have
been elected 1t will be time enough to
talk about these things. notice that
several papers have commented on the
fact that two years ago [ did not announce
my committees until after the holiday re-
cess. It should be remembered that the
House at the beginning of that session
engaged in revising the rules which
were not adopted until the day
before the. recess. It would have
been eXtxemely unwise Tor me to have
lGppezffcd the committees until their
exact Jurisdiction had been defined. There
will doubtless be some delay in making
selections for the coming Congress. 1
see that OF the total number of standing
committees more than half, thirty-tWo,
are without chairmen, the incumbents
having been defeated in the last
Congressional elections. OF neces-
sity much time must be consumed
IN filing these positions and in making
the acquaintance of large number of
members and in learning their peculiar
tastes and ability. It's doubtful whether
the committees, can be announced before

"Do you anticipate any serious annoy

"Shall you call some one to the chair
when the time arrives for the appoint

''No, for the reason that my action
would be open to the same criticism that
could be made should I appoint the COM

acting under my instructions. may ask
the House to elect the committee by bal
